I adore the flavor of roasted vegetables. Everything changes when our favorite vegetable goes through the cooking process of roasting. The flavor, the texture, the color…yum! I would rarely take a bite out of an onion or garlic pod but once roasted…divine! This recipe is a bit relaxed and so simple as I suggest using you and your family’s favorite vegetable selection, the amount of oil to lightly coat and salt and pepper to taste.  Enjoy!!

Recipe Tips

~Create space and keep vegetables in a single layer.  Crowding will steam your vegetables instead of roasting. 

~Roast until the vegetables are tender and can be pierced with a fork and charred on the edges. 

~Roasting times can vary with vegetable varieties.  Tough vegetables like potatoes, beets and carrots will take longer depending on the size you cut. 

~Approximate roasting times for vegetables at 425, depending on the size you cut. 

Root vegetables (beets, potatoes, carrots): 30 to 45 minutes

Winter squash (butternut squash, acorn squash): 20 to 60 minutes

Crucifers (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts): 15 to 25 minutes

Soft vegetables (zucchini, summer squash, bell peppers): 10 to 20 minutes

Thin vegetables (asparagus, green beans): 10 to 20 minutes

Onions: 30 to 45 minutes,
